Emotional well-being and cognitive function have robust relationship with physical frailty in institutionalized older women by Guilherme Eustáquio Furtado, Adriana Caldo, Ana Vieira-Pedrosa, Rubens Vinícius Letieri, Eef Hogervorst, Ana Maria Teixeira, José Pedro Ferreira

“…A total of 358 older women, aged 75 years or more, were recruited from four nursing homes within the city of Coimbra and asked to complete a sociodemographic and a general health assessment survey. The main PwB dimensions were assessed in all participants: (i) global cognitive status was assessed using The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) Neuropsychology Test, (ii) self-perception was screened using the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) and Global Self-Esteem Scale, (iii) CES-D of depression and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) were used to screen mood states, and (iv) subjective happiness, satisfaction with life, and attitudes to aging psychometric rating scales were used to screen for emotional well-being. …”
